Lot Description

1870-CC Seated Liberty Half Dollar. VG-10 (PCGS). One of the key dates to the series and a coin where precious few survived despite a seemingly adequate mintage of 54,617 pieces. The surfaces are nicer than average as this date routinely comes rather abraded, and the color is pleasing with a mix of light and medium shades of gray. Perhaps a few hundred survive today from this date, the opening year of the Carson City Mint.
